Summer Term 2019 B

We have talked to the children and decided to continue with the same topic this half term as we really enjoyed all of our learning last half term.  We launched this half term with having a Giant African Land Snail coming to visit, following this we planned our week around the story, 'The Snail and The Whale.' Next, we're going to be looking at the story. 'Sharing A Shell', another Julia Donaldson favourite! We're excited to see where our learning will go next...

Autumn Term 2018

Welcome to Class 1! 

We are all really excited to begin our new learning journey together. The children are beginning to settle into school well and are enjoying exploring the classroom.

See below for our 'Superheroes' outline topic plan, each week we are going to be planning our learning with the children so some of these ideas may change during the term depending on the children's interests. 

Also, see below for the EYFS curriculum, we will explain this more during our parents meetings.

Summer 2018

Welcome back! We hope everyone had a lovely Easter break.

This half term our theme is 'Where My Wellies Take Me'. We have once again enjoyed using the 'floorbox' approach to plan our learning. We have looked at some of the poems in the book, 'Where My Wellies Take Me' and used some of the poems to help with our writing.  We have followed the children's current interest in frogs and spent a week exploring life cycles, exploring how to mix colours and creating our own frogs and writing information leaflets. We have also enjoyed another story,'The Very Hungry Caterpillar'. In Forest school we made butterflies using plants and flowers and used different fruits to help our calculations.  We wonder where our learning will take us next...
